Easy Half Apron

We are switching things up just a little this week. Today is going to be tutorial day, because tomorrow we get to have a Pick Your Plum giveaway! I LOVE Pick Your Plum giveaways.

I wanted you to still have a tutorial this week so, I’m going to show you how to make the easiest half apron ever. I do a monthly ladies night at my church and we made these this month. I got to teach the class and women who have never sewn before made them very easily. Seriously older kids could make them to give to teachers as Christmas gifts. I first saw the idea to make these aprons from Skip to my Lou, I tweaked it just a little to make it easier for me.

What you will need:

One small kitchen towel (can also be called a tea towel, cup towel, or hand towel depending on where you live)

Start by cutting 2, 4-8 inch strips out of your material. {if you need help on cutting your material I have a tutorial here} I like my waist band a little thinner but thick ones look really cute to. So it’s up to you. Remember you will fold your waistband in half so it will end up being a little less than half of what you start with.

With right sides together sew your two strips together. Press your seam open.

Now you have a very long strip. You are going to press your two sides in about a 1/4 of an inch. Iron both side down. Then fold in the two edges 1/4 of an inch and iron those down. Then iron the entire strip in half.

Now your strip should look like the photo on the bottom. And be a little smaller than half the size you started with.

Now take your towel, open your waist band and place your towel inside.

{I shortened the strip so you could see where I would pin it at the end and the towel in the last photo. Yours will be much longer}

All that is left is to sew along the edge of the waist band to attach the waistband to the towel. Make sure you catch all 5 layers when you are sewing. You can use a wavy decorative stitch to make this easier or you can use a straight stitch like I did.

There you go a cute half apron, that only has two seams. { Sorry for chopping my head off today, taking photos by yourself is tricky} I timed my-self the first time I made an apron this way, it took about 30 minuets. Defiantly doable for Christmas, or anytime.
